yes its just an o-ring........simple fix just make sure to coat the new o-ring in fuel so it wont roll on the way in.......also dont get an over the counter o-ring as it will most likely be Buena rubber and the ULSD will swell it up and degrade quickly...................Viton or EPDM is the best bet, if you have no source for these than get one from Chrysler

Very expensive fix = fass or airdog, and bypass the whole thing!

2cents here!

My outfit is leaking at the grommet where the wires go into the top of the heater. Any ideas?

What are these fass or airdog comments referring to?

Any ideas would be hot!

Thanks.

Google FASS filtration or Airdog Systems and you're on the way.
